[Intro] Em D G [Verse 1] Em D When I was a boy I'd spend six weeks each summer C D At grandma and granddaddy's farm G Em G With magical mornings and dew covered meadows C D G And rainy days out in the barn D Em D Molasses and biscuits with breakfast each morning C D Feeding the chicks and the ducks G D Em G Walks to the spring on my grandfather's shoulders C D G And riding around in his truck [Pre-chorus] Em D And as evening gave way to the starry night G C D By the light of the summertime moon G D Em He'd take out a silver harmonica C D G And play us a couple of tunes [Chorus] G He'd play peace in the valley C G And I'd fly away G And I'd drift off so happy Am D In dreams as he played G For it shined like a beacon C Am And it rang like a bell G Em That silver harmonica D C D G That I loved so well [Verse 2] Em D One evening I asked him while we were at supper C D How much was that instrument worth? G Em G He said son it's the key to the treasure of kings C D G The most valuable thing on this earth D Em D For the troubles and struggles you'll labor through C D In the course of an everyday life G D Em G Make you long for a peaceful and quiet way C D G To welcome the coming of night [Chorus] G He'd play peace in the valley C G And I'd fly away G And I'd drift off so happy Am D In dreams as he played G For it shined like a beacon C Am And it rang like a bell G Em That silver harmonica D C D G That I loved so well [Bridge] Em D But time flys away C D And loved ones depart Em Am But the memories stay Am D Down deep in your heart G D Am Em G And now when the world gets to be too unbearable C D And I get too weary to try G D Em D I sit on the steps as the twilight surrounds me C D G And watch for the moon in the sky [Pre-chourus] Em D And as evening gives way to the starry night G C D By the light of the man in the moon G D Em I take out this silver harmonica C D G And play me a couple of tunes [Chorus] G I play peace in the valley C G And I fly away G And I drift off so happy Am D In dreams as I play G For it shines like a beacon C Am And it rangs like a bell G Em This silver harmonica D C D G That I love so well D Em This old silver harmonica C D G That I love so well
